Program areas at Project 2 Heal
In 2017 Project 2 Heal bred, nurtured, imprinted and began training 35 puppies that were donated to accredited service dog organizations across the country that will go on to be service dogs for children with special needs and servicemen and women with ptsd or other service related injuries. Additionally, Project 2 Heal uses its pups to provide canine assisted therapy to children with special needs, provide education about service dogs to schools, churches, and other organizations and visits assisted living homes or hospitals with its pups. We also take on volunteers that we educate about service dog work and how to train service dogs. While hard to calculate the number of people our work will impact in a year; given our time out in public with our dogs throughout the year and the number of people we educate about service dogs, their place in society, etc., that number can easily reach as high as 1,000.
